Overview
- Decision Desk HQ projected Alicia Johnson to defeat incumbent Tim Echols in District 2 and Peter Hubbard to unseat Fitz Johnson in District 3.
- The flips would reduce Republicans’ control of the five-member Public Service Commission to 3–2, with final counts and certification still pending.
- The results would be the first Democratic victories in Georgia PSC races since 2000, according to reporting that cites the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
- Georgia Power’s multiple rate increases over roughly two years helped turn the contests into a statewide referendum on affordability and oversight.
- A Fulton County judge extended City of Atlanta voting to 8 p.m., yet ballots cast after 7 p.m. do not count for statewide contests, and all registered Georgians could vote in both PSC races.
